Defined as death by whom? What are their criteria for this definition?


He almost died. It was near-death. Even he said so. But that wasn’t good enough for NBC News. They had to say he “briefly died.”
He didn’t. You don’t come back from death.
Are you defining death as ‘none of your cells are alive?’
I suppose some people would consider Henrietta Lacks to be alive, but I wouldn’t.
Otherwise, I don’t understand the point of your question. It’s neither a definition nor a list of criteria. But I would not be surprised if some human cells lived for a while after going through a wood chipper.
